2 FIVE Junior Lacrosse Development Camp

Prepare for the next level.

RDLA is proud to offer the 2 FIVE Junior Development Camp, tailored specifically for 2nd-year U17 (2010) and 1st-year Junior players (2009). This high-performance camp is designed to instill confidence and refine the essential skills needed to thrive as players transition from minor to Junior-level box lacrosse.

Through focused instruction, high-level competition and mentorship from experienced coaches, participants will enhance their game IQ, positional awareness and team play — giving them a competitive edge as they prepare for Junior lacrosse.

This camp is ideal for motivated athletes looking to develop the specific skills and mindset required to make an impact at the Junior level. Participants will take part in six 1.5-hour training sessions, with the potential for a 7th session — a unique opportunity to scrimmage alongside active Junior players.
